To begin an online application, under Applications (General Funding Opportunities), please select Apply for a Mission-Aligned Proposal. Once you have started the application, please locate a copy under Full Proposal In Progress. Please click on the edit button toward the upper right to begin. Please remember to SAVE and save often as the system does not autosave. You may return to your application at any time. Please do not begin another application as you will create a duplicate copy. Once you have submitted your proposal, please find a read-only version under Submitted Proposals. You may also verify that the Foundation has received a copy if you can locate it here, although there may be a slight delay in viewing your proposal.
If you are applying for a Ocean Resiliency or Climate Resiliency grant, please download the workplan here. The workplan is required to be uploaded with your application.
Once your proposal is approved by directors, you will receive a soft copy of your grant agreement via email. Please upload a copy of your signed grant agreement by locating the contingency under Reports Due. Here you will also find a link to upload copies of revised budgets, revised workplans, permits, notice to proceed to the contractor, matching payments etc. as well as any progress or final reports due. Please be sure to check the due date and complete the correct report since there could be multiple reports listed in your account. Once you have submitted your report, please find a read-only version under Submitted Reports.
Finally, please find all upcoming grant payments under Scheduled. Once your contingency has been approved, please check under Paid to verify that your payment has been processed. Please note that the Foundation no longer issues paper checks, but has transitioned to ACH transfers for all grant payments. If you do not receive the funds in your account within a few days after the payment date, please contact Ann Matsukado at 808-263-8920. Please also ensure that your bank information on file with the Foundation is up to date.
If your project is ending and you have remaining funds, please request a No Cost Extension (NCE) prior to the end date. You may request a NCE through your Fluxx account. Please scroll down to active grants to select your grant and click on the Request Amendment button on the top right to begin your request. You will be required to explain why you are requesting an amendment and indicate the amount of remaining funds. Please provide additional detail regarding how the funds will be expended.
